If you are looking to immerse yourself in everything PETS, this is for you. Vendors from across the midwest will be there with everything from gourmet chew bones to doggie water purification systems. The Expo is a family friendly event put on by the Alliance of Wisconsin Animal Rehoming Efforts (AWARE). The Great Lakes Pet Expo is a chance to meet many of the state's shelter and rescue organizations and their adoptable pets. Bring the whole family for a day of fun. There are also excellent seminars and demonstrations throughout the day. Mark your calendars and have an enjoyable Family Day! July 16 Hands for Hope Dog Wash Bring your pup to Eyes of Hope Shelter between 9 and 4 and you'll take them home squeaky clean! Dogtoberfest Join us the third Saturday of October for our Eyes of Hope Dogtoberfest. We will be woofing it up inside and out. There will be food, fun, games and a CRITTERrrr MAN show for the young and the young at heart! The event is open to the public with a special invitation to our formerly adopted dogs with their new families. A donated pet food item for the area food pantry gets the donor a free beverage to boot! Dogtoberfest 2011 was a fun-filled day. The air was crisp, the coffee was hot and the Brats/Burgers were oh so tasty. CRITTERrrr MAN entertained, educated and painted paw prints on any willing faces or hands, carnival games (even the tennis-ball bob for the dogs) were a hit with all, and our own Oxford Volunteer Fire Department volunteers were there to give the kids a first-hand look at their firefighting vehicles. Dogtoberfest will be more exciting with the addition of vendor booths too! If you are a vendor and would like to place a booth at our next Dogtoberfest, contact Kris at (608) 547-5448, or email her at kris@eyesofhopeshelter.com |
